 Topic 1: The World Cup & the Chinese FootballDespite the Chinese national team failing to qualify, again, the country is crazy about the World Cup.

Fans stay up late to watch games, some restless fans even died watching the World Cup. World Cup widows complain that they will be ignored by their husbands during the month-long event. Hardline fans buy sick leave notes online in order to watch the tournament, and some even have resigned simply to follow the matches.
While in Brazil, Chinese soccer reporters were asked by the locals, "what are you doing here if the Chinese national team is not here?"Why the craze?
Topic 2: Shanghai Metro1 admits special access inadequateThe Shanghai Metro authority has recently admitted that access facilities for people with special requirements are inadequate2 at older stations.
Accessibility for commuters with special requirements has been in the spotlight3 this week after 10 commuters were injured on an escalator at People's Square station last Wednesday, after a baby stroller became jammed at the top.
Is there a serious inadequacy4?
Topic 3 Can Physique Intervention5 Class Improve Kids' PostureA survey in Beijing shows that more than 80% students in the city have physique problems in writing, sitting and standing6 postures7, among which holding pens too low is the biggest one. To solve these problems, Beijing's primary and middle schools will promote a physique intervention course.
Is there a problem?
Topic 4:  Better cars=more girlsIn 2013, the national population census8 report shows that there are 11 million leftover9 men in China, referring to single guys in their 30s. If they all have a fancy sports car, things might be much easier.
Recently, an online program did an experiment that shows if a guy drives an expensive car and hits on girls, the success rate can be as high as 70%.
What is this show?
